How bizarre – my husband and son have been watching all the ‘real’ Star Wars films over the last couple of evenings. I have been boring them with stories of my Star Wars figures – v.impressed Yoda still has the belt and snake. And the stories I could tell of trying to find that Leia Organa figure……

Wow, those are in great condition. The Star Wars toys from my childhood don’t look nearly so good. Yoda is “naked” who knows where his little robe is. I didn’t even know he ever had a snake! And Princes Leia doesn’t have her fancy robe/cape things either. Pretty much any removable accessory is long gone!

My Book

A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
